After they left the camp, they rode their horses for almost ten miles before stopping. Wu Xinyu got his men to look for some wood to start a fire. Meng Changan was so cold that he kept shivering. Even then, he did not say a single word. He wore an overcoat over his unlined garment on the inside. Even if the overcoat was any thicker, it was of no use. His body was basically frozen stiff as they traveled over the distance of ten miles. However, he did not tell the troops to stop. Wu Xinyu instructed a few of his men, and they left immediately after, disappearing into the snow. He tossed a few pieces of wood into the fire. “You have nothing to say?”Meng Changan lowered his head. “Thank you, general.”“Just that?”Wu Xinyu added, “No wonder Guo Leiming said that you’re a taciturn person. He is indeed correct…if we traveled another ten miles in the harsh winter weather, and in order to save your life, you h

When Shen Leng walked back, Shen Leng saw Chen Ran squatting down for some reason under the bright moonlight. He went over to Chen Ran and stood behind him before snorting. “You dare to take a dump in the wild behind my back?”On this side of the river, it was an empty land where weeds grew everywhere. Chen Ran was squatting on an elevated ground. There was an opening of a cave, and there was something inside making some sounds. “I think there’s a wolf cub inside.”Chen Ran turned around and looked at Shen Leng. “You hear that? It sounds like a wolf.”“Have you seen a wolf before?”“No.”“Have you heard a wolf’s howl before?”“I have not either.”Shen Leng glared at Chen Ran. “It is probably a pack of wild dogs.”He squatted down and looked inside the opening of the cave. At this moment, a black figure suddenly came charging out from within it. It was extremely fast

After one full day and night, the troops had almost reached their limit. Shen Leng ordered them to take a break. At this moment, they were already at least fifteen miles away from Zhangkou’s dock. Traveling at such a speed did not only put their limits to the test, it was the same for their horses too.Normally, it was considered fast for the cavalry to travel thirty miles in a day. After all, they were different from an individual light cavalry.There were a lot of horses being raised in the northern part of Great Ning. In Kuomeng, to the north of Hexi, there was a grassland that stretched over thousands of miles. In Great Chu of the previous dynasty, the grassland was being subdued, and all the tribes had to pay allegiance to the imperial court. After Great Ning was established, they gave special treatment to the natives of the grassland, to appease them and quel negative sentiments. Over the past hundreds of years, the grassland provided the foundation f

The man, who was being referred to as ‘big brother’ saw Shen Leng leap down from the roof agilely, before noticing the Great Ning military uniform on him. In that moment, he was terrified. He quickly yelled to his men to run because the military was here. Hence, they all ran out, taking big strides.That young lady stood there dumbfounded. When she saw Shen Leng, she yelled, “Why do we have to run, it’s just him alone!”The old man next to her grabbed her and said, “Let’s go, quick. Even if it’s just him, we still have to run. Don’t tell me you’ve lied to people for so long that you managed to deceive yourself too? Do you really think that you’re a true patron saint?”The young lady shook off his hand. She lifted her head up and stuck her chest out, as she walked towards Shen Leng. I am Tong Shen Sect’s patron saint. If you dare to take another step, bad luck will fall upon you.”Bam!Shen Leng kicked her in her lower

Shen Leng knew that Dongchi was a little different. He had passed by Dongchi during his last trip to Changan. However, he brought Master Cha and Du Weiming with him, and the three of them sped through. He was not in his uniform either, hence, naturally, there was nothing to be worried about.Prince Li Chengdong was a very special person. He had spent half his lifetime playing around; everybody said that the reason why the current emperor spared the kid, who almost became the emperor, and kept him alive till now was because his father had knelt down in the emperor’s study and bawled his eyes out, right after his coronation. 　His Majesty valued family, and he had always admired that self-aware brother of his. Hence, he showed mercy and told him that he would not hold a grudge against a child.However, it was said that the crown prince was rather dishonest. Ever since a few years ago, he hired an expert from the underworld as his guard in his man
